Here are the technical specs on my motor oil, after being driven for 3,000
miles in my 1993 Dakota 4x4 V6 with 115,973(at the lab test time) miles. I
have used Castrol 10W-30 and Fram PH16 every oil change since I bought the
truck with 13,500 miles on it. The truck has never burned/needed any oil
between oil change intervals. All the elements are listed in parts per
million.

I really thought the lab was very nice and very prompt when returning my
